Hi There! I Just got my First bonsai (a ficus) Just 6 days ago and i noticed he started losing some of his young leaves (like 4 - 5 in 2 days). I havent watered him yet, the flowerist told me ti water him the week After i bought it. It isnt facing direct sun and it's in my room at 21-22°C. Any suggestion? Is it Just adapting to the new enviroment?
Thank a lot

Let's go over all the issues again:

1-) Send us pictures, it helps.
2-) Losing some (a few) leaves when adapting to a new place is normal, but I don't think this is the case here, since all factors in this moment are bad.
3-) Water it. Don't listen to foolish advice like the one the "flowerist" gave you. If the soil is dryish, water it. Water it good, spray it, Ficus love humidity.
4-) Let it face the sun, they love it. PUT IT OUTSIDE.
5-) Take it out of your room immediately. Find a nice place outdoors and don't move it again, Ficuses hate being moved from one place to another.
Read ALL you can about your tree. There are thousands of sites to teach you proper care of a Ficus.
here is one:

Good luck. Don't let it die.

Thanks a lot for the Quick answer, appreciate it! I've put my tree outside and watered it, Hope it starts feeling better. Just another question, is there any particolar fertilizer you suggest buying? And is it a problem if my tree stays at a temperature close to 40°C?
